Selby Public School

We are looking at how using our five senses can help us succeed in descriptive writing! Great thinking and debate between our 6s!

Don’t forget Red Shirt Day today Selby Stars.

Celebrating National AccessAbility Week May 28 – June 2. Let's unite, give voice & celebrate school communities & people with disabilities for their leadership & impact while reflecting on our efforts to become a better, more accessible, & inclusive school board. #NAAWChallenge

Team work makes the dream work. This group of 3/4s continues to amaze me. Coming together to cheer on and run with a student who is participating in tomorrow’s Special Olympics. Good luck to all @selbyschool ⭐️s participating in tomorrow’s track and field events!

What an inspiring evening! ⭐️ #TheTruthAboutReading

Today we used the kiddos' favourite headbands activity with sentences. Ss are working on reading the sentences and their partners are working on writing them down. They also practice explaining our spelling rules (like magic e) to their partners as hints when there are mistakes!

Today we used modeling clay to create 3-D shapes using the attributes we know about them each. We practiced making spheres, cubes, cylinders, cones, rectangular prisms and pyramids. Some were harder to make than others!

We came up with a list of names for our chicks yesterday, and today the chicks got to choose their own name! Say hello to Eleven (the egg number that hatched first!) Chocolate Chip and Fluffy! What are your names @MrHill_LDSB ?

Take a peek at our new Selby Stars! Our kiddos are absolutely in love with the baby chicks and some even chose to wear chicken spirit wear to celebrate! 🐣

We were beyond excited to let our four new @selbyschool ⭐️s out today. The excitement on the students’ faces says it all. 🐣🐣🐣🐣

Chick, duck, and goose hatching has allowed us to learn new vocabulary words like incubation, incubator, brooder (box), humidity, and candling. We were excited on Monday when our first 🐣arrived! Any suggestions for names @selbyschool @SelbyKinder?

What an exciting day in Kindergarten! The students got to see a few of our little chicks hatching! So far we have 3!

The animals & sun came out for our Selby Stars today!! Thank you @TheTorontoZoo for a fantastic day! @selbyschool
